“A multiplayer microbiology based Real Time Strategy Game.

“You play as a scientist with the power to genetically modify your microbe to cure the worst diseases and protect humanity, or wreak havoc on the world with engineered mayhem. Playing around with the traditional RTS genre, CURE adds a unique upgrading system that you would normally find in an RPG.

“As you play, you can custom tailor your units using genetic engineering, and these changes are permanent. You can focus crafting a team that has a specific ability, and/or you can specialize your units so that they have specific properties – such as strength or speed. The more you play, the more you can create an ideal team to conquer your online opponents.”

Thumper

developed by DROOL | Platforms: Windows, PS4, VR

“Thumper combines classic rhythm-action with breakneck speed and brutal physicality. You are a space beetle hurtling towards a maniacal giant head from the future.”

“With one analog stick and one button, you control a space beetle while hurtling through stunning and treacherous worlds. Each rhythmic hit, crash, and impact is interwoven with an original soundtrack by Brian Gibson of the acclaimed noise-rock band Lightning Bolt.

“There’s no blood or gore, but you’ll feel the violence.”

I wanted to make some more varied gifs, but I’d need more footage to get a nice cross section of imagery. I’ll definitely be looking into making another post sometime down the line. Absolutely love the aesthetic and music in the new trailer.

2D Puzzle Platformer

developed by FunVenture | Platforms: Unannounced

[gfycat data_id="JollyDazzlingIbadanmalimbe"][gfycat data_id="PerkyVapidHawaiianmonkseal"][gfycat data_id="BelovedReasonableJuliabutterfly"]

This a 2D sidescrolling platformer with puzzle elements. It’s still early in development, pretty much moving from a prototype to an alpha stage. I don’t normally cover stuff this early (some more gameplay would be nice) but I liked the art style and the main character gave me flashbacks to Cloudface. They’re really not similar, but my brain can make major leaps. :P

Maybe something to keep an eye on, you can follow along on Twitter.

[gfycat data_id="ThirstyGloomyAsiaticwildass"][gfycat data_id="DimThickIraniangroundjay"][gfycat data_id="MajesticIlliterateEskimodog"]

“A narrative-driven action/adventure, music-sampling, platforming, rhythm laser-light guitar solo kind of game”

“Your dialogue choices shape the backstory, image, charisma and the name of Francis’s new stage persona. There’s a plethora of extra-dimensional-animalia to interact with and sample with your field recorder. Play your samples back to gain access to new areas, hypnotize beasts, and create your own alien arrangements.
